Exclusive: BREAKING NEWS: Army Discharges Four of the Fort Jackson FiveW. Thomas Smith, Jr.
The State newspaper and WIS TV, both based in Columbia, S.C., are reporting tonight that four of the Fort Jackson Five – the Muslim soldiers allegedly involved in a plot to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson, S.C. – have been removed from active duty.
According to The State, U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson – a member of the House Armed Services Committee – “disclosed for the first time that four of the Muslim soldiers had been ‘administratively separated’ from the Army, a military designation that means they were discharged with neither honorable nor dishonorable status.â€
WIS TV adds, “for petty crimes.â€
No mention of what the crimes were.
The fifth soldier has been removed from active service, but returned to his unit in the Virginia National Guard.
